One Last Mission

A new day had passed, and the married couple were at a small cafe. Mekarm had offered to take Sunrise off of their hands to spend some time with her.

James and Sunset were having coffee with one of the few people he'd expect to offer it to them. Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"It's nice ya want ta touch base with me after so long Nick but ah'm starting ta think there's more ta it than just this." James calmly stated as he took another sip of his coffee.

Nick just chuckled and gave him a friendly smile. James hadn't changed at all. Not one bit.

"Always to the point James. Just like your dad. I'm thinking of recruiting you two and another to join S.H.I.E.L.D. I know it's sudden after what happened and such but I know good recruits when I see em." Nick stated, drinking his own coffee.

Sunset looked at Nick with an eyebrow raised in confusion.

"Ok, I know me and my husband would work perfectly with you guys. But who's the other guy you got your eye on?" Sunset asked confused.

Nick just smirked at the couple.

"Mektaveus Armaldo." He replied with a smirk. James spat out his coffee in shock. His eyes widened, how did Nick know about him? He thought to himself. Sunset's eyes were also widened in complete and utter shock as they looked at Nick like he just grew three heads at once.

"Say what?!" The couple said in complete unison, shocked at the fact that Nick knew about him.

"Now hear me out, alright? I know you both see him as a brother and your daughter Sunrise loves him as an uncle but that man you helped James is strong enough to throw a car like it was a wooden toy. Not to mention he has been in the force for so long he could be in special ops. I want him to help others with his talents and protect the lives of everyone. Just like I want you two to help me do the same." Nick calmly told them.

Both James and Sunset were taking what Nick said and thought about it. Coming to a decision, they agreed.

Suddenly a car crashed right outside of the cafe they were sitting in. The trio looked out the window and saw Mekarm standing in front of a heavily dented car with the man having no damage done to him, but what set off both James's and Sunset's worry was seeing Sunrise standing behind her uncle.

Parental instincts kicking in, they looked over at the girl in worry and fear. A voice in the back of their minds telling them to go and get her. To go and save her.

"Sunrise!" They cried out in fear for the girl and were about to run over to her to see if she was alright but stopped at what they saw happen next.

Mekarm used his left hand to punch into the hood of the car and rip out the engine from it. The driver who turned out to be politician Blueblood was terrified of what just happened.

"Can you please put that back so I can drive away from you in fear?" Blueblood asked fearfully in a shaky voice, afraid of the man with the mechanical arm.

Mekarm just walked over to the driver's side and pulled Blueblood out of the driver's seat and into his face. He held the frightened politician with his right arm.

"I want you to apologize" Mekarm growled, his niece standing behind him unafraid but confused of the current events going on in front of her.

"I-I'm sorry sir!" Blueblood wailed like a little girl to the veteran soldier.

"Not to me." Mekarm growled, before pointing to Sunrise who stood next to him.

"To her. I want you to apologize to her for almost killing her you idiot." Mekarm growled angrily. He was careful and chose not to curse in front of his niece. He didn't want her to learn to think that it was okay to always curse at people.

"B-But-." Blueblood blubbered fearfully, feeling afraid of and intimidated by the man.

"NOW!" Mekarm commanded furiously, protecting his niece.

"I'm sorry for almost hitting you with my car little girl!" Blueblood fearfully whimpered to Sunrise, who just shrugged, unaffected by it all.

"It's okay." She said sweetly. This was nothing new to her, she knew the world was a dangerous place and that people were awful.

She began to sniff the air with her heightened sense of smell. She wrinkled her nose in disgust at the revolting odor that wafted in the air.

"Eww, what's that disgusting smell?" Sunrise asked, pinching her nose to block out the smell.

"It's alright, sweetie. It won't be here for much longer." Mekarm lovingly promised his niece. Giving her a soft and gentle smile.

It turned out that Blueblood had embarassingly soiled himself like a toddler.

In disgust at what Blueblood had just done, he grabbed him by his collar and held him in the air.

"Wait wha-aaaa!" The politician wailed as he was thrown into a nearby river. James, Nick and Sunset watched it all unfold. Happy and thankful for Mekarm, and angry at Blueblood for nearly killing their daughter. Even though she had a healing factor and Adamantine coating her young skeleton, she could still be killed. Albeit with heavy difficulty.

They began to follow Blueblood. They found that he had fallen into a nearby lake.

"Isn't there a lake in that direction?" Nick asked smugly, watching as the helpless politican tried to swim for safety.

"Yes." The couple said in joined unison. A loud splash made itself known as Blueblood tried to swim to safety. People began to record him, laughing at his expense. This was surely going to affect his reputation and go on the news later tonight.

"Nick? Do me a favour? If this comes on the news tonight, can you get the news channels ta not find us and leave us alon and ta not have us interviewed? Ah don't want ta be in the news. Neither does Sunset or our daughter." James asked his director politely.

"Of course James. As of now, you're agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Welcome to the team." Nick spoke with happiness as the couple followed him to a back of a wide store. A quinjet was parked there.

"So, ready to see the helicarrier? And you might want to bring Mekarm and your daughter with you both. I'd like for them to join S.H.I.E.L.D." Nick asked softly.

"Got it." James stated. Soon Mekarm and Sunrise made it to the trio. Mekarm shook Nick's hand after being informed of his new job which he agreed to. He wanted to do this to not only protect his niece, but everyone on the planet.

"Sunrise, baby, are you okay?" Sunset asked softly, pulling her daughter into a gentle and protective hug. Her maternal instincts towards her daughter still strong and fierce as ever.

"Yeah, I'm fine mom, uncle Mekarm kept me safe." Sunrise happily stated, hugging her mother more.

"Mekarm? Thank you, man. Fer protecting mah daughter and saving her life. Ah can't thank ya enough buddy." james told Mekarm happily.

"It's no big deal man, I'd do anything to protect my niece." Mekarm softly replied, hugging Sunrise gently.

The quinjet took off in the jet as they flew towards the helicarrier.
